Artistic Mementos

The original Belgian art fair returns to the capital for its 35th edition in April. In 2017, Art Brussels brings together 144 galleries from 28 countries in three main sections: Prime, Discovery and Rediscovery. In addition, the fair’s International and Discovery Committees have selected 34 newcomers for the upcoming programme. Joining the Committees this year are two new members, each with a curatorial background: Tania Doropoulos, Artistic Director at Timothy Taylor in London and New York; and Eva Birkenstock, Director of the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf.

Art Brussels has also announced a collaboration with internationally renowned exhibition maker Jens Hoffmann and curator and critic Piper Marshall for the flagship exhibition situated within the fair. Mementos: Artists’ Souvenirs, Artefacts, and other Curiosities brings together personal objects and artefacts from the private collections of a diverse group of artists, all of whom are represented by galleries participating in Art Brussels. The fair also welcomes Belfius Wealth Management as its main partner in 2017.
